Many of you participated in the surveys former
representative Andrea Doll and former assembly member Sara Chambers were
working on to determine the needs of young children and families to make Juneau
a better place to live.

At a public meeting last week, they presented their findings
and participants from various groups serving children and families in our
community set priorities and recommendations for developing an action plan.

Sara Chambers provided us with their presentation document,
which is attached to this email. If you are interested in the entire 29-page
list of statistics regarding Juneau
children as they compare to children across the state, feel free to contact her
directly at sara@...

It may take a few minutes to load. There are also other excellent
resources at JEDC.org, including a child care status report,
Juneau economic indicators, and a transportation
assessment.

Keeping informed and participating actively in the decision
making process, is one way to ensure a bright future for our children.
